The opening ceremony was presided over by Mr. Wang, the chairman of Jutai New Materials Company. Feng Yuzhen, Deputy Secretary of the Hohhot Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region; Yun Jiandong, Chairman of the Municipal People’s Congress and Head of the Coordination Leading Group for the Development of the Tuoching Economic Development Zone; Bi Guochen, Vice Mayor; Zhang Guoping, Director of the Office for the Construction of Major Municipal Projects; Cui Lianguo, Chairman of Jutai Group; and Philip Chu, Vice President of Air Products (China) Investment Co., Ltd., attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Inner Mongolia Jiu Tai New Materials Co., Ltd. was established in March 2017. The first phase of the project, with an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of ethylene glycol, began operations on September 29, 2017. The total investment in this project amounts to 13.3 billion yuan, and it covers an area of 2,565 mu. The construction period for this project is 3 years; trials are scheduled to begin by the end of 2020, with full-scale production set to start in 2021. Once operational, the project is expected to generate annual sales revenue of 10.6 billion yuan and profits and taxes amounting to 3.66 billion yuan. The project is located in the Tuoketuo Industrial Park of Hohhot Helinger New Area. In June 2017, the product plan for this project was changed; instead of producing 1.7 million tons per year of coal-based olefins along with related fine products, it now aims to produce 1 million tons per year of ethylene glycol. The project uses coal as raw material, and produces syngas through the mature domestic aerospace powder gasification technology, while ethylene glycol is synthesized using Zongxin Wanfeng Davy Company’s formaldehyde hydroxymethylation technology. Cui Yijun, general manager of Jutai New Materials Company, said that after nearly a year of effort, all the necessary procedures for the project have been completed; the project command center is now in use, and the office buildings as well as the facilities for production support have been built. This achievement is made possible thanks to the attention and strong support from party committees at all levels, the active participation and assistance of people from various sectors of society, and the unremitting efforts of all the employees at Jutai. By partnering with well-known enterprises in the industry both domestically and internationally, the company will surely turn this project into a high-quality, model project, enabling the New Materials Company to become a driving force in the modern coal chemical industry in Tuoketuo County, Hohhot City, and even the entire autonomous region, thus contributing to the high-quality development of the local economy. On September 9, the signing ceremony for the technology transfer contract of Inner Mongolia JiuTai New Materials Co., Ltd.’s project to produce 1 million tons of ethylene glycol per year, as well as the EPCM management and general contracting contract for the facility, was held at the company’s headquarters in Inner Mongolia. Cui Lianguo, Chairman of Jutai Group, and Jane Toogood, Chief Executive Officer of CLP’s Efficient Natural Resources segment, signed the contracts for the transfer of ethylene glycol technology and formaldehyde technology on behalf of their respective parties. Mr. Wang Zhen, Chairman of Inner Mongolia Jiutai New Materials Co., Ltd., and Mr. Han Bing, Chairman of Hualu Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., signed the EPCM management general contract for the project installation on behalf of their respective parties. On June 22, Jutai Group and Air Products Corporation (AP) signed an agreement on deep cooperation regarding the coal-based syngas facility for Jutai New Materials Co., Ltd.’s project to produce 1 million tons of ethylene glycol per year. The two parties reached an agreement on the construction and operation methods for the syngas plant part of this project in Inner Mongolia. AP Company has invested over 4 billion RMB to build and operate the facilities related to the gasification island, providing high-quality synthetic gas and industrial gas supply services for JiuTai New Materials Company’s project aimed at producing 1 million tons of ethylene glycol per year.
